On February 13, 2014, officers of the Johnson City Police Department
began an investigation into a reported missing 19 year old Johnson City man.
Jeramy T. Kazen of 268 W. Main Street #13, Johnson City, Tennessee was reported
missing after being last seen on February 7, 2014 at a residence on Plymouth
Road. The investigation had revealed few credible leads on the man's possible
whereabouts.

On March 8, 2014, a resident of Blue Ridge Apartments located at 2560
Plymouth Road reported seeing something suspicious floating in a retention pond
behind this apartment complex. A closer examination with assistance from the
Johnson City/Washington County EMS and their Dive Team Unit revealed a body of
a white male in the retention pond. After recovering the body, it was identified
as being that of Jeramy T. Kazen, who was identified through several
distinctive tattoos as described by family members.

The body of Jeramy T. Kazen was taken to the William Jenkins Forensic
Center for an autopsy to determine the cause of death. The investigation into
this matter is continuing.
